And it was this encounter that made them realize they're privileged, even though it must've been pretty obvious for all sorts of reasons, not to mention living in one of poorest countries in the world as an US "expat".
Still thought, must be quite a story in some circles.
In any case, wandering the busy streets late at night with a drink is a recepy for meeting new people. That is certainly true
- hbarka 5y agoSadly, nowadays I would think twice about wandering streets late at night in San Francisco.
- beebeepka 5y agoHow about Detroit? That and New York are the only places I want to visit if I ever find the time to cross the Atlantic
- distantaidenn 5y agoWell, I'm OP, and as fate would have it, I'm actually from Detroit (born and raised). If you do go, please make sure you have a tour guide. Downtown is safe enough, but if you decide to see the "real" city, you should know where you are going before you go there. Edit: Just realized you made a comment earlier. Well, as we are discussing now -- I grew up in a low income area in inner-city Detroit and I am a person of color. I never really considered myself as privileged. It's all about perspective.
